Product Description
The iAudio D2 8GB Video, Photo and MP3 Portable Player can play music up to 52 hours and movie up to 10 hours. It is an ultra-stylish and feature filled miniature PMP. Its 2.5" LCD touchscreen produces an ultra-sharp picture that's perfect for viewing movies and pictures and its small size makes it more convenient for the road than larger portable media devices. The D2 has a built-in FM tuner as well as support for MP3, WMA, OGG WAV, APE and FLAC Codecs. All video files must be converted using jetAudio VX. Any other video files are not supported by D2.

A truly great product, with a few flaws November 14, 2008
Richard Jackson (Honolulu)
This is my first multimedia portable player. I did own a Creative Nomad mp3 many years ago.
Being an avid backpacker, and lover of both movies and music, I have been looking for a device that is light, has great battery life and performs well. The Cowon D2 seemed to meet all those needs based upon the many reviews that I read.
First the pros:
As many have pointed out, the battery life is quite remarkable. One night I fell asleep with a movie going and when I woke up 6 hours later, a movie was still playing and the battery meter had one bar left.
The video quality is quite good. I was concerned about the small size of the screen but the picture is so bright and clear that this concern was not an issue.
Audio quality is great with an equalizer that allows you to tweak various settings.
The cost of the player was quite reasonable with free super saver shipping.
The cons:
There is a bit of a learning curve especially with respect to encoding movies. It took me a while to find an encoder that would consistently turn out good quality videos.
The UI leaves a bit to be desired and it is a bit of a hassle to negotiate various screen to find what you want.
Lack of an easy play list for songs is a problem.
All in all, I highly recommend this jewel of a player especially for those who backpack and want to travel light.
PS: I also have a Tekkeon MP 3450 battery that can charge the unit up to three times and therefore give a total of 40 hours of video playing time. Not too shabby.
 If ipod is a beast COWON D2 is the king of the beasts. Cowon Rocks November 11, 2008
Ujwal K. Krothapalli (Cincinnati, OH USA)
I have used a lot of popular mp3 players like ipod and creative zen but the best is Cowon D2. The wolfson audio chips are the best ,but the best of wolfson's chips are used in Cowon D2s.The player is the best for sound quality the output is so high that it can drive headphones with 100 ohms impedance with ease usually earphones have the impedance range of 16-24 ohms and video quality is mind blowing. But the style isn't great Cowon will be launching a new ultra stylish player the S9 in the next month. Well in the end this player is not for sissies who keep nagging about minor problems.
I wonder why D2 sells so less! October 20, 2008

This is the best MP3 player money can buy unless you dont wish to think too much and put your hard-earned money on an ipod.
It has every feature in the book: FM Radio, voice recording, a plethora of ways to adjust your equalizer to sound exactly the way you want it to, video playback an SD slot etc and etc but all said and done, only one reason is enough to buy this player and that is the sound quality it produces. Truly terrific.
I have a V-Moda bass frequency earbud to go along with my Cowon and i cannot seem to part with it.
Iam extrememly happy with my purchase. Bang for the buck!!
Exellent little pmp September 19, 2008
Andrew Burt (ME, USA)
I bought this after doing some research and having to decide between this and the ever popular Ipod. Needless to say I haven't been disappointed. I love the battery life and the excellent sound quality. The ability to be able to use an SD card for additional memory is a bonus. There is also a moderately active user base that offers various themes, flash games and utilities to make the player even more versatile. The only thing I feel that the Ipod has over this player is the amount of different accessories available for it. But as far I'm concerned, that's minor compared to the overall features embedded into this pmp.
 Don't by Cowon products... September 4, 2008

I have been thoroughly disappointed with their products and lack of customer service. They average about 2-3 weeks to return an email for customer service issues. I finally got through to a representative and was advised to send the product back to them, at my own expense and they emailed back about 1 month later stating that there is no problem with the item. When I emailed back with a detailed description of the specific situation I encountered (item stopped powering on or charging through the USB port) they ceased communication. I still haven't heard back from them, but will never buy their products ever again. They are terrible both at manufacturing and caring for their customers.
